Posted by Walter | April 7, 2016 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Chapter 7

Will Geer was very professional and helped my family get through an extremely difficult time. He was both comforting and professional in his dealings with us. He would always return our calls promptly. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing bankruptcy assistance.

Posted by anonymous | November 8, 2013

Best lawyer for not the best circumstances!!

Will Geer went above and beyond for me. He is a very caring, attentive attorney and truly cared about making my bankruptcy as pain-free as possible. He was always VERY fast at responding my to my questions, regardless of the day or time. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a hardworking, honest ...lawyer. Talk about an oxymoron! But seriously, he's a gem!

Chapter 11 bankruptcy lawyer | May 12

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"AVVO will only let me endorse Mr. Geer for one area of bankruptcy. However, I highly endorse him for all areas of bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is a complicated area that requires an attorney with experience. I know nothing about bankruptcy law, but Mr. Geer is able to break down some of the most complicated aspects of the law for even someone like me. He also has a different business model than the vast majority of bankruptcy "mills" out there that take on literally hundreds of cases a year. He selects a limited number of clients and gives them constant personal attention. Bankruptcy is a frightening and confusing time, but he quite literally holds his clients's hands throughout the whole process. He's an exceptional attorney and I highly recommend him."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
